Before Caspian could say anything, the Holy Land Realm cultivator impersonating Phillip said, “The dead don’t need to know who we are!”
His voice was sharp and muffled behind his mask, causing a harsh and unpleasant sound as if someone brushed the bottom of a pot with an iron brush.
The leader of the imperial guards held a long spear and stood in front of the emperor, shouting angrily, “How dare you! The sect immortals are here, and you’ve no right to spurt nonsense!”
The Holy Land Realm cultivator impersonating Phillip scoffed and uttered, “How weak! Death is already knocking on your door, yet you’re still so senseless.”
“What?!” The head of the imperial guards was stunned.
The next moment, favonovel.com felt his chin itch. The irritation came very quickly, and it swiftly spread to both cheeks, his head, and all over his body! It felt like countless ants crawled wildly under his skin!
The leader of the imperial guards stretched out his hand and scratched his face. However, just as favonovel.com was about to do so, the flesh of his cheek was pulled off, revealing his gums. Moreover, even though his flesh fell off, the itching did not stop. Instead, it became worse than before.
In an instant, the imperial guard wailed in horror as favonovel.com tried to remove his armor with force. At the same time, favonovel.com could not stop himself from scratching himself everywhere, and his flesh turned into pieces with just a touch. In the blink of an eye, the leader of the imperial guards actually tore off all the flesh on his body, turning it into a skeleton soaked in blood before dying miserably.
In his eyes, there was incomparable horror and disbelief.
The entire process happened at a strange speed. For the mortals, they watched the terrifying scene where it only took only a few seconds for an adult to be torn off all the flesh, turning favonovel.com into blood and bones.
The tragic scene, combined with the leader’s hoarse screams, suddenly changed the expressions of all the civil and military officials present, and they stared at the cultivator impersonating Phillip with a terrified gaze.
The four monks who were like ghosts in the night suddenly became more menacing and chilling.
Caspian also felt his scalp tingling after watching the scene. The person’s way of killing people was too strange and cruel.
The leader of the imperial army naturally knew that scratching would only make favonovel.com die quickly. However, the itching feeling all over his body was even more unbearable compared to dying.
Suddenly, a cultivator exclaimed from the crowd, “Blood Poison Sect! You’re Steve Merlo from the Blood Poison Sect!”
“Blood Poison Sect!” Caspian was shocked. He saw the name in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s sect missions.
The Blood Poison Sect was a small sect established in the Middle Earlington area 100 years ago. As the sect cultivators were ruthless and often used living people to experiment with newly refined poisons, the Mountwave Sect, one of the six major sects, eradicated them about 30 years ago. Even though the sect was eradicated, a small number of Blood Poison Sect’s evil cultivators escaped, and they were still alive until now. As for Steve, favonovel.com was one of the best figures among the Blood Poison Sect surviving members, and favonovel.com was also a sect elder back then.
Even when his identity was exposed, Steve was still calm. He flashed an eerie smile and said, “Now that you know my identity, don’t you regret what you just said?”
Everyone present was stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically. The Blood Poison Sect was good at poisoning, and a strange poison obviously poisoned the leader of the imperial guards. As the leader of the imperial guards, it was naturally impossible for favonovel.com to attend today’s dinner as favonovel.com needed to maintain the security of the palace.
However, favonovel.com must at least drink water. Hence, favonovel.com must have drank the poisoned water before favonovel.com died. If the water in the palace was poisoned, the food and wine present would surely be contaminated too!
At that thought, almost all the mortals on the scene turned pale. Many people even stuck their fingers in their throats, vomiting loudly.
Many sect cultivators also started to frown. As cultivators, they were naturally stronger than mortals. However, the so-called invincibility to poisons was only against poisons of mortals. Since the Blood Poison Sect’s poisons were all aimed at cultivators, they would inevitably be in slight trouble if their realm was not enough and the poison used by the other party was extraordinarily overbearing.
When favonovel.com saw everyone’s reactions, Steve chuckled. “It seems that you’ve all guessed it… If that’s the case…”
Before Steve could finish his sentence, someone among the officials suddenly let out a sharp whimper. In the chaos, favonovel.com fell to the ground and scratched his face and arms. He formed a few bloody lines on himself with the first scratch, and on the second stroke onward, the flesh on the official’s face and arms slipped off like rotten fruit pulp.
The pungent smell of blood instantly spread in the courtyard. The next moment, several more wailing sounds came from different directions in the crowd as several other officials and generals fell to the ground. In a flash, they scratched themselves into bloody people.
Extreme fear suddenly erupted, and the group of mortals fell into madness. Not only them, but even the sect cultivators also appeared strange. Thankfully, their bodies had a certain resistance to the poison, and since they are cultivators, their mental strength was also strong. Hence, they could forcibly endure the sensation.
“How audacious! You bunch of evil cultivators have no right to do as you wish in this celebration!” Vincent, the Blue Feather Sect elder, roared and stepped out. He was a court official, and after becoming a cultivator, favonovel.com developed a majestic aura that far surpassed mortals’.
Vincent’s voice was as loud as thunder. Not only did Steve and the others were shocked, but their bodies trembled. Even the officials who showed signs of poison suddenly felt their itchiness subsiding.
“Since you deliver yourself into our hands, I’ll fulfill your wish and kill you!”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Vincent grabbed Steve and the others. In an instant, everyone present saw a big hand condensed out of thin air. It was as if there was an endless blue sky in the palm, spreading infinitely and covering everything, making it impossible for people to escape.
“A Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator is in action!”
Caspian was stunned, and favonovel.com quickly looked at Steve and the others.
Even if Steve and the others are united, they could not be Vincent’s match.
They would surely escape!
Steve’s eyes gleamed brightly behind the mask. Then, favonovel.com abruptly raised his right hand and shouted, “The six major sects and the Earlington of Efrax royal family, I’m going to show you what’s a complete annihilation!”
No one knew what favonovel.com held, but a purple-black light like a flaming flame suddenly burst and roared out of his palm, blocking Vincent’s huge palm. At the same time, it went straight to the sky and exploded like fireworks in mid-air. In an instant, even the bright moon and the stars all over the sky revealed a disturbing purple-red color.
